Guests can enjoy leisurely bike rides through the vines, cruise the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds, or take to the skies with a helicopter tour over the Wairau Valley.

"If you are a wine and food lover looking for a peaceful and luxurious escape, The Marlborough is an absolute gem. The ability to taste wine from the estate's own vineyard, enjoy the award-winning food from their Harvest restaurant, and wander through the stunning gardens makes for a truly memorable stay."

Tell me more:

The Marlborough is a small boutique hotel with just 10 rooms, located in the midst of the world-renowned Marlborough vineyards. It is situated within 16 acres of secluded park-like gardens, featuring an acre of vegetable gardens, and is surrounded by its own vineyard. Steeped in history, the hotel was a Victorian convent dating back to 1901 and offers a refreshing, contemporary vibe with a cosy and luxurious feel. Each room blends contemporary design with hints of its history, while providing all the modern amenities one would expect. This hotel is perfect for anyone seeking a luxurious escape in the heart of New Zealand’s premier gourmet region. You can savour wonderful food and wine at the onsite award-winning restaurant, Harvest, enjoy wine tasting from the estate, or explore the sprawling gardens with its multiple trails, spring-fed creek, and array of native and exotic trees.

Why it’s one-of-a-kind:

The Marlborough’s onsite award-winning restaurant, Harvest, was awarded a one-hat category in the February 2024 Cuisine Good Food Awards. The restaurant boasts a unique Mibrasa charcoal oven (the only one in the region) that adds another dimension to its gastronomy. It has a fierce commitment to showcasing the very best of the Marlborough region with a farm-to-fork philosophy, using fresh produce from the estate's own vegetable garden. The hotel also has a boutique, 4-acre vineyard that produces a limited amount of wine each year, which is only available at the hotel and restaurant. You can even arrange garden tours with the estate’s gardeners, who encourage guests to pick and taste the produce for themselves.
